Tonight we had our usual song service. Long on singing, short on true worship. I also learned that it was a 20 minute song service from someone in another place watching the service online. I also found out that in Prescott the typical song service is 3 hand clapping songs and 3 hand raising songs and then worship. And in another Fellowship church it is 3 fast and only 1 slow song. And the song service with less singing does not repeat anything over and over and over and over ad nauseum like we do.
If you have been in one church since you were born again then you will not see what I see. I can safely say that I have not been in any church, Foursquare or Potter's House or the Door or Praise Chapel, that has a song service like ours. I am learning how to live with it as it is. But I am not crazy either. Our worship service seems to be long on singing and short on actual worship. I'm talking about speaking in tongues kind of worship. The kind of worship that helps us focus on Christ and not on how we feel.
There may not be an absolute right and wrong way to worship. But there is a way that really is hard for people like me to adjust to. But I am trying. And I vote for a new song leader who can actually sing.
